Seeking Salvation

Speak the truth before it is too late,
Cleanse your soul, purge out all hate,
So you can stand at the Pearly gate!

Values and morals must escalate,
Sweep away all the dirt on your slate,
Speak the truth before it is too late!

Keep your moral account up to date,
Your bank account will not help your fate,
So you can stand at the Pearly gate!

You traded lies in your life’s debate,
When life deceived you with wealth as bait,
Speak the truth before it is too late!

Death will snatch away your mortal trait,
Your soul journeys to eternal state,
So you can stand at the Pearly gate!

Repent your misdeeds,let’s pray and hope,
To climb to Heaven here is the rope,
Speak the truth before it is too late,
So you can stand at the Pearly gate!

Amazing poem about beliefs and heaven. I don't quite get it but with more reading, I think I will. You are an interesting poet.

Thanks Julia. It is based on spiritual values vs materialistic pursuits!
